Page A215, line 26 says that expansion is suppressed
Just after a $_3 token that begins math mode, to see if
another $_3 follows.
However, any character whose category code is 3 would do, not
just $_3. For example, the following program
\catcode`\!=3
\catcode`\?=13 \def?{!}
!?math!?
\bye
typesets the equivalent of $ $math$ $ instead of $$math$$.
